I let Emma get her ears pierced last year for her birthday (8), think I might have waited a bit longer, we were constantly cleaning them and she still managed to get an ear infection which had to get antibiotics for.

A few weeks ago, her childminder noticed that the skin had grown over the butterfly but she managed to put the butterfly out, same thing happened to me when I was Emma's age and I had to go to the doctors and get the butterfly cut out of my ear, my dad went mad and wouldn't let me get them done again (although I did, twice)

If she knew what she was really asking for then no. I had to wait until I was 8 and I pestered my mum for about a year
